This blog began with stories of consignment stores and vintage stores, but is morphing into nostalgic musings about disappearing or disappeared objects, and reflections on things that endure.

Normcore!
I haven't contributed much to this blog lately, and this one is pretty lame since I am simply posting a link to an article in Marie Claire UK which has a video of a Perry Ellis show from 1993. I really loved the length of the skirts, and the styles overall: easy to wear for any occasion. If "norm core" means wearing no fuss, no nonsense clothes that have a nice length, feel comfortable and remain timeless, then I guess sign me up! I also love that these models are wearing comfortable shoes (Birkenstocks?) and boots.
I enjoyed playing "name that model." Too bad they're not identified: they're anonymous, just surfaces on which the clothes must look good. But these women have made a name for themselves. I think I recognized Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and definitely Carla Bruni. Who else?
